Brad's support for Torino during the selection period, and Jimbo's recent comment here are, to my mind, very out of place and could easily suggest to many that there is pressure being brought on them.
Allow me to clarify that I did not vote in this years selection process, and have no intention of voting in next years. My comment about Torino was based on two things: the closeness of the competition this year, and my own love of visiting Italy in the summer, which I don't get to do very often. It was intended as a personal remark only... to cheer up the Italians. :)
